Not That Much

We are studying the book of Dueteronomy in church on Sunday's. It has been a rich blessing to understand more about the laws of God and how each one applies to our lives today and always.

One text recently was from Dueteronomy 23. It speaks of how there is not to be uncleanness before God in any way. One example / application given of the passage was when we talk of movies, books, tv, or anything and our response is "Hey, you should watch/read this or that. It just has one scene / bad word. It's really not that bad." How "bad" must something be before we flee?

Oh, that we could see as God sees and hate sin as God hates sin. We have so deadened ourselves to sin, that we expect and accept sin based on the fact that there's not that much.

Is that not why Christ died for us. To cover ALL our sins.

Any sin, no matter how little in the eyes of man, is enough to separate from God forever in the pit of hell. And all our goodness in man's eyes is not enough to get us to heaven - they are as "filthy rags".

The sermon brought back to rememberence a sermon I read from CH Spurgeon last year. It is entitled: Little Sins .

Snakes, Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

Guess what our boys carry around ....

Check these out








And these are only a small sampling of what we see around here.





It was Karen who discovered a nest of eggs ... while weeding. The boys brought a few in to hatch. Turned out to be salamanders! We (I) were much relieved.


Never a dull moment around here.

Dutch Baby Pancakes

This is Jonathan's specialty. He loves to make it for us every couple of weeks for breakfast.

It is simple, quick and takes few ingredients.

Best of all you can top it with fresh fruit, syrup, or powdered sugar.

It has a rich taste and it is soooo easy!!!

Preheat oven to 425.

Melt in a 11x15 inch pan: 1 - 4 Tbsp. butter. (You can use less butter, you just need to coat the pan.)

Tilt pan so that the butter coats the sides.

Whisk together until smooth:

1 1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cup flour

3/4 cup sugar

6 eggs

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and bake until the pancake is puffed and golden.

“Puffs” will loose air when removed from oven fairly quickly.

Serves: 6-8

Walk For Life Update

We want to thank all of you who sponsored us in the Walk. We were able to meet our goal and are excited about the possibilities of next year.

James was able to help with setting things up at the early morning hour of 6:30. The rest of us arrived at 8:15am. James saved us a parking spot, and welcomed us when we arrived.

We began the Walk at 9am - staying on the side walks as we walked through the town of Wake Forest. All participants (about 700) were finished walking the 2-miles in an hour.

Here we are getting ready to walk.

Baby Thirteen

As some of you may have heard -

We are excited to announce that God has decided to bless us with Baby Thirteen. We are looking forward to meeting this precious gift sometime in October.

A Happy Home Defined

Six things are requisite to create a happy home.

Integrity must be the architect, and

Tidiness the upholsterer.

It must be warmed by affection, and

Lightened up with cheerfulness, and

Industry must be the ventilator,

renewing the atmosphere and bringing in refreshment day by day;

While over all, as a protecting canopy and glory,

Nothing will suffice except the blessings of God.
